You are correct - this is the default behaviour and is a gotcha for people 
migrating from JAWS.

I can see both sides of the argument and am glad it's switchable on 
several screen readers (it's even switchable in JAWS, its default is just 
different).  IMHO the one downside to the layout way of presenting things 
is that you need to specifically position yourself on a link before it 
will activate.
